MONTREAL, September 13, 2018 - The World Anti-Doping Agency
(WADA) announces that its Intelligence and Investigations (I&I) Department
will hold a “Kenya Project Taskforce” meeting later this month in collaboration
with the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) and the Athletics Integrity Unit
(AIU), focusing on combatting doping in Kenya.

The meeting, which will be held in Nairobi on 27 and 28 September, is the
latest initiative being implemented by WADA’s I&I Department following the
launch in 2017 of a full-scale investigation, known as the Kenya Project.

The Kenya Project was set up by WADA and the AIU to better understand the
nature and extent of the doping issue in Kenya with the view to developing a
multi-stakeholder network that would be better equipped to tackle Kenyan doping
in sport. The meeting will be an opportunity to bring together all stakeholders
in the latest round of talks. It will also update attendees on progress made to
date.

At the conclusion of day one of the meeting, WADA Director of I&I Gunter
Younger, ADAK CEO Japhter Rugut and Head of the AIU Brett Clothier will hold a
press conference providing members of the media with the opportunity to discuss
the meeting’s outcomes and other Kenya-related anti-doping matters.
